Landscape Style Guide
20 landscape styles in five families, with the colour palettes, materials, features and plants that bring each one to life in an Ontario yard.
Finding your style
Your landscape should feel like it belongs with your home. This guide groups 20 styles into five families, each with a colour palette, a matching paver style, plants chosen to match the palette, an upkeep rating, and notes on how it looks in winter and how to light it.
Most yards blend two styles. Pick one to lead, borrow accents from a second, and we’ll pull it together at your consultation.
